So I'm wondering if Stardock knows Google has identified the JoeUser forums as harmful? Is it just JU or all Stardocks sites? Might this affect traffic?

I get an Avast warning from time to time when enterring the JU forums. Malicious url(livertip) I just ignore it, as I can navigate the forums with no trouble. It is my belief that if any Stardock site was indeed "dangerous" the SD web team would be all over it. Google needs to get its act together.

And they(Google) want people to trust them enough to use an OS built by them? I don't think so!

Yeah.... Google scans the internet and when it finds a site that it believes to be delivering virus or malware it blocks it as "malicious" IE users generally aren't affected. The Joeuser forum page is off limits to Firefox and Chrome and will present the user with a warning page. Its probably just a flash ad that Google is flagging, Unless the majority of their users are IE the traffic here will nosedive into oblivion

BTW, Tova7... I do hope you're doing better, and feeling stronger...you've been in my thoughts.Thanks. I'm right as rain as of today...but I still have my boob and haven't started chemo yet...looks like mid to late October for surgery, then chemo....

Hehe, Doc, that's a good 'un........ good, but sadly true, so sadly true.

People might think Google has taken over the internet, but it goes much, much further than that. Most believed it was just an April Fools joke when Google posted that thing about free internet connections by placing the provided cable down one's toilet, but that's what they wanted everyone to think, while they covertly plotted away in sewers underneath cities all over the world. You see, they didn't just want satellites to spy on us from above, they also wanted to spy on us from below.

So yeah, heed the warning, and check things out thoroughly before you sit on the toot.... they might be watching.

Oh and don't think the S-bend will stop 'em... they've got sophisticated technology to get around that.
